Child support is for the children, therefore it cannot be waived permanently by the mother or father, although it can always be modified based upon a change of circumstance, even after entry of a Final Order of Divorce.

I hired Ms. Reese to represent me for my divorce a couple of years ago. I had interviewed other attorneys, and I was looking for someone I could feel comfortable with. Someone who would represent my interests, not feeling I had be taken advantage of and most of all knowledgeable and professional. Ms. Reese and her team are all of that and more. She had a very quick and thorough understanding of my situation. Very responsive, punctual and fair. I had a first meeting with her and went back 6 months later; she was on top of everything and I didn't have the impression of wasted time. I strongly recommend Ms. Reese.
Evening and weekend appointments are available under certain circumstances.
